Some of mine. My favorite is the Josef Lada coin - seems to be rather scarce in proof. mintage of less than 5000. While toning on proof coin does not look good, surprisingly this matches the winter image on the coin. I did wish I got hold of the UNC version as well. This coin's toning matches very well with the "environment" theme...
No, Löwenbräu is not Czech, although they make excellent beers there. Yes, same lion. This style is somewhat common in heraldry: the lion rampant (i.e. standing or climbing lion) with a queue fourchée (split or double tail). When I see one, I do think of Bohemia, or some Bohemian connection, first. But Löwenbräu is from Munich, and has been around for a few centuries, so it's hard to tell ... Christian
I'm going to a show in Dalton, GA on April 18th. The show is being sponsored by a ANA associated club in Georgia. Georgia Numismatic Association Coin Show is the name of the club and the show. I went to a show last August held in the same building but was sponsored by the Blue Ridge Numismatic Association. The show has over 200 tables and lots of great dealers.
